3.5 Rito Asilo (Philippine Daily Inquirer)

“The film is so adorable that it’s easy to disregard its implausibilities (note the scene involving a couple of bandits). Moreover, Island Dreams will win you over with its infectious optimism and charming whimsy, anchored on the vibrant chemistry of Delos Reyes and Petitprez.” (Read full review)

3.0 John Tawasil (Present Confusion)
